Through the fast upgrade of Samsung digital imaging, former digital cameras start to disappear and changes have been coming with new products. Finally, not pixels, but functions and prices will be the most important points of the digital camera market, I think.
Before reviewing the IT100 from Samsung for 4 weeks, I m going to preview the strong and weak point from the view point of users.

IT100 review – Unboxing and package (Written by SaeWooKang boy)
The IT100 supporting 12.2M pixels digital camera, Smart auto function, 28mm wide optical 5x zoom, HD video recording is going for an intelligent camera. When first taking the camera, the heavy image was impressive. There are 4 products such as black/gray/tomato red/dark blue in the white box, and I ve got the black one.
The size of the box is similar to the box of MP3 players from Samsung, it s optimized for carrying and present and the box is made of recycling material. On the top (front) of the box, it shows the lens and case well.
At the back, the short introduction of the product is written in 5 languages including English. That the IT100 is optimized for Vista OS and, and pictures can be developed by connecting to a printer through USB with the PictBridge is shown with the icon.
It includes IT100, install CD, warranty(English), Quick guide-English, USB cable, power adaptor jack, A/V cable, and hand strap. In the compact box, they are well located. From the moment I took the product, I could feel the perfect from the unboxing.
They are all items. Especially, the jack to connect to a power adaptor through the 24 pin USB cable is impressive and you have to read the warranty in various languages (5 languages). However, the quick start manual is in English, and you can download the Korean version from the Samsung camera website. (http://samsungcamera.co.kr/product/pro_view.asp?prol_uid=4595&cat_uid=178)
On the bottom, the IT100 includes USB and A/V output port and charging is also possible here. I mean through the power adaptor this can be connected to the IT100 for charge. I couldn t show you in the picture, but the metal terminal part can directly be connected to the bottom port of the IT100.
This is the part to connect USB cable and power adaptor. That you can develop pictures and transfer files through the USB cable by connecting a computer/printer is one of the strong points the IT100 has. (Charge and transfer can be done at the same time.)
The body of the IT100 is glossy and made of aluminum. Except the battery and SD card, it s 155g compact/slim size and it can appeal to women users, I guess. Especially, the optical 5x zoom 28mm wide angle lens emphasizes the whole body. Flash, AF, and self timer are located on the front, but don t seem prominent, so they are okay.
When I met the IT100, one of the most impressive things is the TFT LCD size. The IT100 has 7.62mm 3 inch screen, so you can experience the great feeling with hands and eyes. Other options can be operated through the right hand with the mode dial. 8 mode dials can be controlled with other function buttons on the lower side.
2GB Memory Card with in IT100
On the bottom of the IT100, you can put in SD card and Li-Ion battery. The Li-Ion battery is 3.7V 1050mAh (3.8Wh) and made in China. Other than SD card, MMC card can be put in and extension is limited.
The gold rectangle is that connecter. this holder used USB cable with computer and printer. and battery charge and photo print. left side is battery slot. this IT100 made by china.
The focus length is 5~25mm and on 35mm film it s 28~140mm. For a digital zoom, when taking still images, 1.0x~5.0x is possible, while playback mode, 1.0~12.5x (Depending on resolution) is supported. It s a 28mm wide product, so better than other compact digital cameras in the market.
Generally, the conjunction of lens and body is strong, for me who have used the NV10 it s satisfactory. However, fingerprints on the glossy body need continuous care. If there was a non glossy product, I could have more options, I think. When turning on the camera, I was glad to see the blue ring. (It s like I can see the NV10 here, too?)
Including the dial mode, all functions such as display, closeup, flash, timer, play and so on adopt the circular button, so the impression of the front lens can be seen from the back also. Thanks to the 3 inch wide TFT LCD, I can naturally see objects, people and scenery.
Finishing the unboxing, Memory of the NV10 is hidden in the IT100
3 years later meeting 10M pixels Samsung camera and fascinated by the blue ring in the second half of 2006, I ve met the 12.2M pixels IT100. Optical 5x zoom and 28mm wide angle excite new curiosity.
Through 3 kinds of reviews, I m going to look at various functions and analyze why the IT100 is intelligent. Please look forward the real IT100 from next Tuesday. I m finishing up the first review – IT100 unboxing by SaeWooKang Boy.
